Whether it's an organised hacking group, a standalone cyber criminal, or just the government keeping tabs on your movements, there's a host of threats you need to be careful of every time you connect to the internet.

CyberGhost VPN can watch your back when you're surfing online and ensure your browsing activity stays private, and lifetime subscriptions are on sale for over 80 per cent off today.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying free Wi-Fi, but if you're doing so without a VPN, you could be exposing yourself to a host of hacking risks. And, while the web is filled with VPN solutions, few can match the security features that NordVPN brings to the table. Two-year subscriptions are on sale today for $90 ($US69).

The web is littered with trackers that are designed to log your browsing movements and feed the information back to third parties. While this info is generally used for fairly innocuous things, like determining which ads to display when you surf, more malicious parties are also out there and are eager to take a peek at your searching behavior.

VPNs have become a staple for surfing on the web without compromising your privacy. However, many tend to bog down your browsing speed in exchange for the browsing security — but not Disconnect Premium.

Earlier this year we wrote about 4TFY, an Aussie VPN project running through Kickstarter which offered lifetime access to backers for a once-off fee.

The campaign was a success: not only did 4TFY smash its funding goal, the company has also been bought out. Which is actually a good thing in this instance, since it means it won't be caught under Australia's data retention laws.

We can all appreciate the convenience of surfing the web on a public connection, but doing so puts you at major risk of having your personal information stolen — unless you have a top-tier VPN service behind you. That's why investing in a security safety vest like VPNSecure is a must if you plan on doing a lot of browsing while on the go, and lifetime subscriptions are on sale for limited time.

The United States Congress recently voted to repeal a set of regulations preventing Internet Service Providers (ISP) from selling your browsing info to third parties without your permission, setting an ominous tone for the future of net neutrality worldwide.

Most VPN are subscription based affairs: pay per month, per quarter, per year. That's fine, but wouldn't you rather just pay one fee and be done with it? That's what a local VPN service, 4TFY, is offering.

I imagine that upon first accessing the US Netflix library, most Australians begin to belt out the classic Aladdin jam “A Whole New World” - it truly is like stepping into an alternate, content-filled universe of TV and movies. Unfortunately, since Netflix cracked down on VPNs at the beginning of 2016, its been much harder to access the US library, but fret not! Here’s some reliable VPNs that will grant you a golden ticket to Netflix-and-chill-ville.

There are tons of VPNs out on the market right now, but when it comes to offering comprehensive protection, few can compete with VPN Unlimited, especially when it's on sale for more than 90 percent off.

The market is jam-packed with VPNs, but few can match what Windscribe brings to the table. While most cover the essentials, like masking your browsing location, Windscribe goes further by removing the things that bring down your browsing experience, like ads, trackers, and malicious hackers.

It's no secret the web is filled with shady folks eager to take a peek at your sensitive information. Of course, you can shut them out by using a VPN, but what good does that do you when it slows your browsing speed to a crawl? That's where HideMyAss! VPN is different, and two-year subscriptions are on sale for over half-off.

As governments around the world continue to whine about how encryption is hampering law enforcement, it's good to see there are lots of options for protecting our online communications. ProtonVPN, made by the same CERN and MIT team that created the secure email service ProtonMail, is now available to everyone following a beta testing period.

Surfing the web without a VPN is much like driving without a seat belt: it might be easy, but you're exposing yourself to a lot of necessary risk. The smarter move is to invest in a VPN that will watch your back without slowing down your online browsing. That's where RA4W VPN comes in.

Now that Australian ISPs are officially required to collect metadata about customers communications, you may need to take online privacy into your own hands -- and VPNs are the best way to do it.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) software effectively encrypts your online activity to help you surf the web free from the prying eyes of eavesdroppers. VPNs come in all shapes and sizes with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Let's take a look.

Streaming sites like Netflix might be available all around the world, but the content that you pay for could be blocked depending on where you're streaming from. That's why Unblock All is a must for anyone looking to get the most out of their binge watching abroad.
